Stereotypes of deceptive behaviors: A cross-cultural study between China and Japan

Keywords:
deception, stereotypes of deceptive behaviors, cross-cultural comparison, Japan, China
Abstract

We replicated and confirmed the results of the deception beliefs research conducted by The Global Deception Research Team (GDRT; 2006). We compared the deception stereotype and the perceiver cues of deception detection of people in the Chinese and Japanese cultures. Our results show that stereotypes of deceptive behaviors exist in both cultures with cross-cultural consistency. However, we also found that the deception stereotype was significantly different in these two cultures and was also different according to gender. Our findings support and validate the GDRT’s findings with a deeper and more detailed analysis.
